A large tree with a decidedly pyramidal shape, it grows to over 50 feet and is easily identified by its slightly drooping branchlets. A stately deciduous conifer, it is used as a specimen plant for large spaces. The European larch produces cones that change from red to yellow to brown in the fall. Its needles are soft bright green and grow in clusters along the branches; it has a beautiful golden-yellow fall color. The European larch is becoming quite popular in our landscapes.
